What Causes Severe Swelling In The Legs?
I am 56 years old, overweight and pre-diabetic. Lately, I have been sitting for long periods of time in a training class. My legs and feet have increasingly getting swollen. Each night it s more swelling. My legs and feet feel hard to the touch. I have had swollen legs and feet in the past, but never this swollen. It s too late to see a doctor tonight. What do you suggest I do until I can see a doctor?

Hello,
I think you should visit a doctor immediately. The swelling may come from your kidneys or heart not working properly. Kidney insufficiency or heart insufficiency are suspected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
